Hi All.. Long time.
What a month to remember! On July 3rd G and I tied the knot and began our journey into married life. Then right after the honeymoon I took on a new position at another company on July 14th. [img]/forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]
So here I am a newly wed and newly employed - Two new challenges taking me into two different directions but IRONICALLY I grave the same expectations from both.
I want my marriage and new job to be ofcourse very fulfilling. I know both will require hard work for me to succeed at in the long run. Both will have its ups and downs for certian. Both will require patience and tolerance to get through the day. [img]/forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]ray: Both can be financially rewarding – if you know what I mean [img]/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] . Both will have daily grinds and rituals and if I approach each event/ordeal in a positive way I will have taught myself self-control and self-discipline.
With all the similar expectations, ofcourse some expectations will be different. There are going to be some days I don’t want to be at work… but I know that I will always want to be in my marriage. There are some days my new job won’t offer any joy. In contrast, the fact that I have married a loving and sincere man and one I can truly grow with is already nothing but share joy.
As I have always said, no one relationship is perfect but people who enter or plan to enter in the institution of marriage need to first evaluate themselves and determine exactly what they want out of a marriage. If you are willing to accept that things will go wrong sometimes and you will be thrown some curb balls, then that is half the battle.
I am looking forward to a long, long, long and gratifying married life and I can only truly wish for those who are married on the board or are planning to in the future, be optimistic as well as realistic about what the future holds.
God Bless…
